The SoMo 650 was chosen among other handheld devices for unique enterprise
capabilities that made it stand out from other business class portable
computers on the market. Portable Computing is a niche publication focused
on the computing needs of enterprise users. The digital issue reaches more
than 85,000 people each month. The SoMo 650 was selected for the award by
Portable Computing editor, Monty Fossberg.

The Product of the Year award was created by Portable Computing in 2005 to
recognize outstanding achievements in mobile computing within a given year.
This year's award featured in the March issue of Portable Computing
highlights the SoMo 650's barcode and RFID functionalities as key
differentiators for the device.

The winning product, the SoMo 650, was released in July 2007 and is
designed specifically for the business mobility market. As business
computing needs diversify, many workers require a device that is more
portable and cost-effective than an industrial-grade computer, but more
suitable for a business environment than a consumer PDA or smartphone. The
SoMo 650 is lightweight, durable and is optimized for a wide range of
business applications, including field automation, inventory management,
patient care, merchandising, asset management and mobile Point of Sale.

"We are very proud to receive the Product of the Year award from Portable
Computing Magazine," said Kevin Mills, CEO and president of Socket Mobile.
"The SoMo 650 is unlike other handheld computers because it was built from
the ground up for the needs of the business mobility market, which has
never been done before. We feel this award recognizes the progress that has
been made in creating a business class product to serve this important
market, and it's great to be recognized by Portable Computing for our
innovation. In addition, we are very pleased with the strong market
response for the SoMo 650 specifically in a variety of industries including
healthcare, hospitality and automotive."
